A cluster of Oak Pendants feature in the dining room of Matt Gibson’s Abstract House. An addition to an existing red brick double fronted Victorian, this home is arranged to allow a strong axial progression from front to rear. Formal spaces are zoned within the original front rooms whilst the rear caters for the main family spaces at the ground level with sleeping spaces above. The sleek dining space, European influenced is furnished delightfully a selection of naturally finished pieces, the Oak Pendant Light cluster crowns the table giving the space a refined sense of thoughtfulness.

The new works are externally conceived as an assemblage of abstract geometric shapes adapted to meet the site constraints and reminiscent of the formal and material simplicity of early European modernist houses.
